Podcasts about ketchikan alaska

Ketchikan Alaska sits on the the southern portion of Alaska's Inside Passage. It calls itself the salmon capital of the world. But for the 14,000 residents of Ketchikan, a landslide Sunday turned it into a disaster zone. Also, in other heartbreaking news, the body of a hiker, missing since last Thursday, was recovered along the Colorado River on Sunday after flash flooding in Grand Canyon National Park prompted the rescues of more than 100 people. Search and rescue operations began Thursday, when flash flooding swept 33-year old Chenoa Nickerson into the park's Havasu Creek, according to the National Park Service. A commercial river trip group discovered her body Sunday near mile 176 of the Colorado River. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On this episode of Rising Tide the Ocean Podcast we speak with world-famous Ketchikan Alaska-based artist and illustrator Ray Troll about his art – from Tee-shirts to wall murals - highlighting ocean life present and prehistoric (he summers in the ancient seas of Kansas). Combining the sensibilities of Gary Larson and Winslow Homer he can take your breath away with laughter and beauty. We discuss his 40-year retrospective art book – ‘Spawn Till You Die – The fin art of Ray Troll,” his upcoming documentary profile, his popular ‘Paleo Nerds Podcast' and more. So, dive in.

The race to Alaska is on! 42 teams will use either wind or manpower to go from Port Townsend to Ketchikan Alaska! We talked to Capt Blake who is a schoolteacher about his team and their unique watercraft!

Jean is a 2-time winner of this boat race! Last week she was the captain of an 8-person crew that beat all comers from Port Townsend to Ketchikan Alaska! This morning she told us about their journey!

The Race to Alaska is a wonderful race in which boats of all shapes and sizes head north from Port Townsend, Washington and end up in Ketchikan Alaska, 750 miles away. The only rules are no engines and no outside support. Satchel Douglas has done the race twice before - and joined me on Episode 9 of the show to talk about his effort as part of Team Shut Up and Drive. This time he joins me to talk about his latest attempt at the race aboard a wing foil! His story of how he qualified for the first leg of the race across the straits of Juan de Fuca is an adventure in itself. The first leg just started on Monday June 5.

This month the Frogcast is joined by Helen Mickel. Helen serves as President/CEO of Tongass Federal Credit Union in Ketchikan Alaska. Her CU's field of membership covers multiple islands and small communities only reachable by boat or floatplane, and because of that Tongass FCU has a very disntinctive and purpose-driven business model. Listen in to hear how Helen and her team uniquely serve these southeastern Alaskan communities, develop and expand the credit union, and ultimately make a difference in the lives of their members and employees. Also hear why Helen continues to send her employees to WCMS thousands of miles away. There are nuggets of wisdom for us all to learn from, no matter how different our locations and sizes may be!

Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/327 Presented By: Bearvault, Zoe Angling Group, Angler's Coffee, Togens Fly Shop Sponsors: https://wetflyswing.com/sponsors Justin Essian, Papa Bear's Owner, Director of Operations, and Chief Pilot, brings us to Alaska and helps us lay out a plan for a full DIY wilderness float trip. Fishing Alaska.. we can't get enough of it! We talk about the features of rivers like Goodnews, Arolik, and Kisaralik - find out which species you can target there, the best times to fish them, and which species are prohibited to kill and cook. Justin describes what a trip would look like for a group of 3 to 6 - how you can save money for raft rental, and how much it cost per person to get all set for the trip. We talk about the transportation system - the type of airplanes you will ride to get to your destination and how reliable are the pilots at Papa Bear. We also dig into some Elk hunting and some other things they have going. Fishing Alaska Show Notes with Justin Essian 04:20 - Justin graduated with an aviation degree in 2009. He got a job at Papa Bear Adventures to have a little fun while waiting to "start a real life". But then he got hooked on the lifestyle of fishing, hunting, and the outdoors in Alaska 05:20 - Ray Troll said the same thing about Ketchikan Alaska - he was on the podcast at WFS 299 05:50 - Tim Rawlins from the Line Speed Jedi was on the podcast a while back at WFS 027 where he talked about being a pilot in Alaska 07:10 - In Alaska, you use a plane to go from point A to point B - it's like your pick-up truck 11:50 - Justin walks us through what the trip would look like for a group of 4 13:50 - The third week of July is the best time in the year if you want to target all types of species. August is always fully-book because people want to target those silver salmons 14:15 - Mousing is good for the early season because those fish are extremely hungry since they haven't had enough salmon eggs yet 20:00 - The Goodnews River is 65 miles long 20:20 - The Arolik river is famous for its fantastic early season rainbows - it's 45 river miles 21:00 - They send their first trip on the 2nd or 3rd week of June 21:20 - Kisaralik is a 100 river miles 22:25 - You will be flying straight to Bethel Airport via Alaska Airlines 23:20 - Gold Rush Liquor Company - they call it a "bush order", you'll call it "gold rush" and you'll tell them what you want, send them a picture of your license, you pay for it, they ship it out on one of the local carriers, then the Papa crew will pick it up for you 26:05 - You ride 2 Havilland beaver planes to get to the camp. They're 1958 and 1958 model planes but they're well-maintained and got brand new engines on them 27:20 - They use the Otter series rafts 29:20 - Papabear staff will take care of the grocery for you 30:12 - Tip 1: Don't camp on a shallow island if it's raining 31:30 - They require a satellite communication device so you can get help for emergency situations. You can rent those devices from them 32:30 - Pilots at Papabear are disciplined enough not to make bad decisions that might end up crashing your plane. When they see thick fog, they don't fly through it, they turn around and come back to base 36:30 - You can't kill and eat the king salmons at Kisaralik River but you can at Arolik and Goodnews. The game wardens are on the rivers, watching. You also can't kill the rainbows. 39:00 - Tip 2: Going in a group of 3 or 6 will save you some money for the raft rental. Raft rent costs $800 that 3 people can fit. If you add a 4th person to the raft, it becomes $2200. 44:25 - Justin tells us the difference between the Arolik and the Goodnews River 47:30 - Seth Hunter, the Operations Manager at Papa Bear, got on the call to describe what the fishing is like in the rivers mentioned - how they're different in terms of fishing style, fish behavior, gear, etc. 1:00:30 - Justin describes what a 10-day trip would look like, plus the cost per person according to what you have prepared for. But the average cost per person is about $2500, which already includes your rental equipment 1:05:45 - Justin talks about Science on the Fly - a non-profit organization, doing good things for conservation Fishing Alaska Conclusion with Justin Essian So there you go. I hope you learned a thing or two about preparing for your next Alaska trip. Papa Bear does a great job at organizing these trips, making sure the logistics are taken care of, so you can focus on fishing and having fun. I've been planning for an Alaska trip with my buddies this year as well and I'm even more stoked to get there after doing this episode. If you're thinking of going to Alaska too, let me know and maybe we can go together!

On this week's Fabulous Film and Friends we are going to show that we're tough enough when discussing Francis Ford Coppola's 1983 cult classic The Outsiders. Starring a veritable Who's Who of 80's leading men and one woman, Matt Dillon, C. Thomas Howell, Ralph Macchio, Patrick Swayze, Tom Cruise, Emelio Estevez, Rob Lowe, dreamy Leif Garrett and the token female, future Oscar nominee Diane Lane. If the movie had made ten years later, it would've cost upward of $100 million dollars in salaries.  Why are we discussing this film? Because The Outsiders The Complete Novel aka the Director's Cut was recently released on HBO Max and I was compelled to revisit this imperfect yet fascinating work by the legendary Francis Ford Coppola, arguably the greatest American Filmmaker of all time, who made this movie in a sort of experimental retreat after suffering a devastating financial and critical defeat with his previous film, 1982's One From The Heart .  Joining me in this analytical rumble and representing the hard punching greasers is the terror of Ketchikan Alaska, back alley brawler Alex Robertson. And on the snooty soc side, who stands for truth, civility, curling up to a good book with a hot cup of tea, my sister Roseanne!But first the synopsis: Based on the popular novel by SE Hinton, The Outsiders  unfolds as sensitive, intelligent Tulsa Oklahoma   greasers Ponyboy Curtis and Johnny Cade go on the lam after Johnny murders Bob Sheldon, a soc who nearly drowns  Ponyboy in a jealous rage after Ponyboy is seen talking with with Bobl's girlfriend  Cherry Valance. During their time in hiding and aided by their good friend, protector and fellow greaser Dallas “Dally” Winston”, Johnny and Ponyboy rescue a group of children from a fire which sends Johnny to the hospital with severe burns. Returning to Tulsa with Johnny in critical condition, Ponyboy joins with his brothers Darry and Sodapop  to face the soc's in an no-holds barred rumble as Bob's murder demands vengeance. The Greasers win the fight but at what cost?
